So I got the drivers from opensource.creative.com and did it. No sucsess tough.. or mayB ??? I cant tell, I run PD with -outchannels 4 but still the front ones appear in the rear,
All I had to do was to recompile PD after the sblive driver was installed. Have you tried that?
... did all the configuration with one of the emu tools and still the same// do I need to have the -alsa option also??
No
Can U run MIDI with these drivers ??
Yes. MIDI should be supported (dev/midi and dev/sequencer). I have not updated the drivers lately, so I don't know if they broke it again.
